What occurs in the life cycle of a moss but not in the life cycle of a gymnosperm?

The correct answer is:

In moss, sperm and egg cells are produced after haploid spores are separated from the sporophyte plant.

Explanation:

The life cycle of most mosses starts with the discharge of spores from a capsule, which begins when a small, lidlike structure, called the operculum, degenerates. A single spore develops to form a branched, filamentous protonema, from which a leafy gametophyte forms.

a, i am pretty sure.

you are certainly talking about this picture:

a: is the label of the white square, it is showing the  replication fork, formed by helicase (d) ==> so it is the site of dna separation and replication 

b: is a new dna brand that is following directly the replication fork, so it is continuous ==> built continuously from 5' to 3

c: dna polymerase cannot replicate dna on its own, it needs the of their proteins, and one of them plays the role of a clamp which fixes  the dna with the dna template and increases  the processivity of the enzyme. ==>   stops polymerase from falling off the  template.

d: is the enzyme responsible for forming the replication fork (helicase) ==> unwinds and separates dna into two strands

e: is the delayed strand, it is built  in the opposite sense of the helicase, so dna will be built in fragments ==> built  fragments from 5' to 3 joins

and finally f: is the enzyme that builds  the new dna strand (dna polymerase) ==>   adds nucleotides to make a new dna helix.
